That's basically a rehash of parts of the Oedipal model. I see it as having merits to explain much of the interplay of behavior and attitudes within the self, but not so much in terms of predispositions and predilections. Reason it makes some sense is that it's fairly analogous to the modern model of fetal-neonatal-child development- which basically points to a dynamic, plastic interaction of factors- environmental, behavioral and biological factors.But the interesting part is the gendered interactions- we think of the typical primary caregiver in our early days as the mother, and proceed from there. I think that the main reason for much of the perceptions of the aetiology of atypical gender presentations stems from the normative cultural gender roles that we presume and practice. The aforementioned model also implies that it is not so important who or what the parent is so much as there is a relationship between parent and child, and that the environment in which the child is raised is conducive to development (and this can mean alot of things).
